CDIST-TYPE__LINE(7)

NAME
cdist-type__line - Manage lines in files

DESCRIPTION

This cdist type allows you to add lines and remove lines from files.

REQUIRED PARAMETERS

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

state
    present or absent, defaults to present

line
    Specifies the line which should be absent or present

        Must be present, if state is present.
        Must not be combined with regex, if state is absent.

regex
    If state is present, search for this pattern and add given line, if the given regular expression does not match.

        In case of absent, ensure all lines matching the
        regular expression are absent (cannot be combined with
        the line parameter, if state is absent).

        If the regular expression contains / (slashes), they need
        to be escaped with \ (backslash): / becomes \/.

file
    If supplied, use this as the destination file. Otherwise the object_id is used.

EXAMPLES

    # Manage the DAEMONS line in rc.conf
    __line daemons --file /etc/rc.conf --line 'DAEMONS=(hwclock !network sshd crond postfix)'
    # Ensure the home mount is present in /etc/fstab - explicitly make it present
    __line home-fstab \
        --file /etc/fstab \
        --line 'filer.fs:/vol/home /home  nfs    defaults        0 0' \
        --state present
    # Removes the line specifiend in "include_www" from the file "lighttpd.conf"
    __line legacy_timezone --file /etc/rc.conf --regex 'TIMEZONE=.*' --state absent
